Looks like we're going to have to bask in each other's glory, Golden!

I would really like to get the game in before next week as I'm a bit busy and cannot play until Thursday night.

I'm available tonight (Friday) from 1900-2100, tomorrow between 1100 and 1700 IF we can get the time set promptly and Sunday from 1100 to 1300.

These are all start times, GMT+1/CET.

Cheers,
da Barm

Hello staffan. I have a busy weekend so my best chance is playing next week, from Monday to Friday at 19.00-20.00 GMT +1 kick-off time.

Tell me if that works for you.

Hi Gnaarkill, I would really love to play as early as possible, but I'm afraid I have a busy and unpredictable weekend ahead. I might be able to play sometime Sunday evening, but don't know when yet, so I guess that's a bit useless. Anyway, my good starting times in CET are:

Monday 2000-2100
Tuesday 1900-2100
Wednesday 1900-2100
Thursday 1900-2100

Yo B! Time for your norse to inspire some whailing and crying blues tunes. Unfortunately my blues group has some medical issues and I can't bring the original band to the game but I'll try to get some decent temps who know how to hold a tune. Here are my OK times for the next few days (CET/GMT+1):

- Saturday 24th: any time after 15
- Sunday: 15-19
- Tuesday 17-20
- Wednesday 17.30-21

I'd prefer getting the game out of the way before Thursday as I'll probably be quite busy preparing for my trip at the end of the week. But if any of those times mentioned don't suit you, sir, I can find me some time for playing on Thursday- early Saturday.
Tomorrow (Saturday 24th) I'll be on errands during the day, but I'll check the forum at morning and after I get home (some time before 15.00) in case Saturday will be OK for you.

Just for clarity, in case you're in another timezone. CET is now CEST, and thus GMT+2. So these times are now in GMT+2!

EDIT: Monday is off the table

That works, except I'm not playing you, I'm playing Gnaarkill. So unless that's Gnaarkill accidentally logged in on staffans account, that's probably wrong. If that actually is Gnaarkill typing, it's a good time for me :)

Hey staffan, sorry for not replying in-game, chat got bugged or something.

Thanks for the game, dices were so loaded tonight it was not even remotely possible for you to pull off any plays. Good luck next season.
Title: Re: Play offs - Quarter Finals
Post by: staffan on March 27, 2012, 05:56:14 PM
Thanks Luiggi !

Great game from your side. I had a lot of bad luck and should have saved my Roller for 2nd half I guess !

Since I haven't heard any confirmation from Gnaarkill, and this was from Staffan's account, I'm going to assume we're not playing today and make other plans. Please either get back to me quickly, or suggest another time (I can probably do something during the weekend as well with some effort)

Gnaarkill, since I still haven't heard from you, I'll take advantage of the nice spring weather for a bbq today. Hopefully, I'll hear from you soon. I'd prefer Thursday, but can probably manage Friday or Saturday. I absolutely cannot do Sunday
Title: Re: Play offs - Quarter Finals
Post by: tags on March 29, 2012, 04:06:14 PM
Gnaarkill, since I haven't heard anything today either, I'm off to the movies and won't be able to start at 19. I should be able to start at around 21 CEST today if you see this and happen to be available today. If not, we're approaching the end of the week, so time is running out...

Hi there Kvasilad!

Sorry for not answering you! Last weekend i was on a competition in Wales and was unable to check the forum.
When i came home i unfortunately caught a really bad fever, been in bed since tuesday. Today is the first day since i got sick that i can sit by my computer, yeay!  ;D

21 CEST today sounds a little too late for me since im still having fever and im guessing im in bed sleeping by that time ;)
What about tommorrow? im available all day tomorrow.

Sorry again for the late answer!

Hi, hope you're better now!

Any time after 19 tomorrow is doable, or any time Saturday (preferably earlier in the day)

How did the competition go? :)

Yo Golden!

Looks like it's time for a re-match already :D

I can play today if you want, the match day has been rolled over. Any time from about 12 CEST and onwards is good. Can't play Sunday, but will be available almost any time in the week following that (vacation with laptop and internet access)

It's been 15 minutes now, and I'm gonna assume you've overslept or something ;D

I might still be able to play soon if you read this, but otherwise it's gonna have to be this evening or another day. Get back to me on the forum with a new suggested time, I'm logging off now.

Nights are pretty much not possible though and not the weekend either.

Oh, man, don't tell me you've crashed, shit was getting intense! Still 3 minutes on the timer, I hope you get back.

Edit: Well, waiting's over and still no reconnection... I'll be waiting for news from you, but I guess we'll have to reschedule as it was only turn 7... though you packed some serious punch back there (or more likely, my orcs put their cardbox armor on today).

Ok, so what's the deal?

How do you feel about this game?
Title: Re: Play offs - Quarter Finals
Post by: Luiggi on April 06, 2012, 10:40:15 PM
Honestly, anything could have happened in that game, although it was in your favour because of all those orcs sitting on the dug-out. 11 to 8 is a nice advantage though not unsurmountable, so chances for a come-back were still there.

I guess I might regret saying this but it's about time someone reaches the final so if you want just admin your win and let's get this over with, I won't be mad or anything. Even though it was you who crashed both times, the game was clearly going your way. Still nothing decided, but you'd get the win more likely than me given the circumstances.

That said, in my opinion the fairest solution would still be a replay (had I crashed it would have been a different story), so if you still want to give it a third go, I guess we can try again. However it's not very nice for all the other players who are out and waiting for a new season to start... I don't know, just make the call.

Any additional thoughts? It would have been nice to hear your opinion first too, but someone has to go at it :D

And I do not see it as a different way if it would have been your crash instead.
It's no ones fault.
But time is running out.. hmm as you said.
Everything can happen in bb, but with two rr-left and more men on the field I cannot see my self losing this game.
And as overtime works as it does it speaks even more to my advantage, but hey, we have seen it before so.

I talk to the other admins, mail or here, any thoughts?

I really don't know how the game was going so don't feel that I can make that call. Obviously I want to play the final game but I wont be able to play until next week anyway, so if you can get the game going in a few days that would be best.

Hmm, I can post the replay if you'd like.
Anyway, We will not be able to finish this game until med/late next week, and then the final.. that is the problem.

Well, I don't have time to watch there replay and I don't think I can make this call, partly because I will play the winning team in the finals.

Alright, as no decision can be made, lets replay again then.

Sorry for the delay but the silence says pretty much.
When can you play Luiggi?

All righty, so it looks like we have two weeks before the scheduled start of the next season. I'd say that gives us time for one replay effort but after that it'll have to be an admin default win for either team. I'll try find time to watch the replay of the second match and chime in later with how the match was going. If I understood correctly, the first match ended at the 7th turn of first half, that seems too early to say anything about but the second match should be easier to judge.

Sorry for not replying earlier, I was on a smallish road trip for the extended weekend and the time difference is not working in my favor either.

Yes, that's correct.
Second ended in turn 13/14 or so 1-1 8 orcs vs 11 norse.. if I 'm correct.

Yep, plenty of time for scoring. 8 vs 11 and norse also had the strength advantage, four st4+ players against two of the orcs, AND also the reroll advantage. Orcs would've needed a lucky break or two to take the ball away and score. Although, the orcs had lousy AV luck both with causing fewer armor breaks than expected and getting their armor broken more than expected, so the situation could've corrected itself with orcs getting even normal armor breakage. But with the time on hand and the man, strength and reroll advantage for the norse, getting a win would've been an extremely hard nut to crack. So based on the replay, the Dragon Trainers would've been the more likely winner.

However, replay would be the preferred solution, so I would suggest that you try to get the replay done by Friday/Saturday. If that can't be worked out, I'd call it an admin win for the Dragon Trainers.

Which one of you has hosted the two previous games? If the same player has hosted both games, maybe you should consider switching the host. Provided that both of you have the nescessary port forwards done.

I can't remember who hosted, but I don't think it made a difference... connection issues are as random as the dice rolls, I'm afraid :D

I can play on (kick-off time):

Thursday 19.00 to 21.00 GMT +2
Friday 11.00 to 21.00 GMT +2

Sorry for the delay from me as well.

Alright, thrursday is out, only friday left.
Lets try that then.

I can see the match already, 3 dead norse and 2-0 win for the orcs...
But lets rock, I'll try to give you yet another tight game  ;D

Cheers!

Do you have any chance of playing this one in the morning or early afternoon (from 11.00 to 16.00 GMT +2 or so)? I guess you assumed we'd play at around 20.30 like the other times, but since you didn't specify I need to ask :D I'll have a busy afternoon and that's why I want to play it earlier (no biggie if you cannot ;)).
Title: Re: Play offs - Quarter Finals
Post by: Mr B on April 13, 2012, 07:10:35 AM
Ahh, no that is not possible as I am at work during that time.

Those are the options during weekdays.
Only evenings is open to me, and as we strive to send little B to the dreaming section around 19-20 the starting schedule will be about 20:30 cest.

Cheers mate!

No problem, I'm around. I'm expecting some visit but it should be quick, so it might at most take 2 minutes out of a turn of mine :D

Game over for Orkitis, the same deal for the third match... lots of orcs face down and steel norses. AV counting for nothing means bad news for orcs, so we'll look to improve that aspect of the game for next season.

Congratulations both teams in the final.

PS: Bantha, did you upload a wrong game? There's a 3-1 match uploaded but I guess that's not it :P

Thanks for the game Luiggi!

No, that game was our last encounter giving other admins a view of our last match if this third game would have been impossible.

New one should be there any min now, old one removed.
And finally we got 16 turns.. thanks for enduring this client!

Golden, when can you play?
This weekend is off limits for me now.

ok, whole next week will be off limits sadly. Our "spex" (no idea how to translate that into english) is putting up the shows on thursday and friday so the whole week and weekend as well will be filled up. Sunday night could work, but I'm not sure if I'm up for it mentally... The week after that all nights except tuesday should work.
Title: Re: Play offs - Quarter Finals

Alright, not much to do, lets plan first Monday that is available then.
Good luck with the Spex!  8)

Yeah, ok that works. Let's say 20.30 if that works for you.

This is going to be a very fun game, even though my team is a bit beat up already and I can see more beating taking place in the future :P

Title: Re: Play offs - Quarter Finals
Post by: The Golden Arrow on April 24, 2012, 10:41:33 AM
The finals have just been played (or last night, but I was to tired to post then)...



... and we once again have elves as champions of NUL! This time its the nobler kin that got away with the win after a close game against the dragon trainers that ended in a 3-2 win for the elves with 3-0 in casualties (yeah elves are hard...).

I started out with two players less (11 to 13), but I got a whopping 250 gc in inducements, a wizard and two bloodweiser babes, which performed amasingly this game.

I started out kicking and got off a very shallow kick ending up on the line of skrimish off to the side. He surrounded the ball, but then failed the pick up leaving it in easy reach for my players (even if it was in 4 tackle zones). I thought for a while, but decided it was worth throwing a fire ball on the ball (basically first time I used the fire ball ever) and it was so worth it knocking three of the players down and killing one of his players (who failed his apo roll). I then blitzed his last guy away and got the ball and screened it in my half of the field while running a few trackers up to pull his team apart and maybe get a chance for a quick score if he messed up. He covered the trackers up, but that meant I could punch through his centre and cage up the ball in the middle of his field. He did not manage to put up very much pressure and I moved the ball up close to the end zone and then scored a turn later.

On his next drive I did not get my knocked down player back and got an extra ko early so I was down players and then played badly leaving an opening that Bantha exploited perfectly for a turn 8 TD. In my last attack I managed to injure one of his werewolves which would be very important for the next drive.

In my attack I did a normal elf attack with the thrower down the field. With an impressive string of dodges he managed to get his last werewolf to blitz the thrower however but only rolled pushes and had already used the reroll (and had needed to gfi twize so couldn't do the frenzy attack). I got the ball upfield and caged it up close to his end zone for an easy run in the turn after that.

On his drive it became somewhat of a scrum and I got to blitz his ball carrier two dice with my tackle blitzer but it was not to be. Next turn I got the chance again, but needed to do two 3+ dodges to get there and that was not to be so he scored again on his turn 14 leaving the game tied with 2 turns left. I did however manage to hurt another player leaving me with the player advantage for the last drive (yeah my injury dice where on fire...) and after a normal elf attack I could run the ball in with a catcher and win the game.

It was a very fun game even if the dice where heavily in my favor, especially in the beginning and thanks a lot to Bantha for the game :)


So to recap, the winners of this season of NUL is VIRGINS NO MORE!

Congrats and commiserations the, respectively, to the both of you. Well fought, I'm sure. Always good to know I was beat by the champs  ;D

How are things looking for season 7, btw? Do we have enough coaches?
